Fractal Bitcoin Releases New Ordinals Protocol Version, Simplifying Application Development

Fractal Bitcoin has officially released a new version of the Ordinals protocol, aimed at simplifying application development on the Fractal network.

Fractal Bitcoin has released a new version of the Ordinals protocol, introducing several updates to simplify application development on the Fractal network.

The Ordinals protocol will activate at block height 21,000 on Fractal Bitcoin. This early activation will allow developers to integrate the protocol into their applications from the outset, aligning with the broader Fractal Bitcoin ecosystem.

Moreover, Fractal Bitcoin has announced that the Rune protocol will activate at block height 84,000. This phased activation strategy will provide ample time for developers to adjust their applications to the Ordinals and Rune protocols, ensuring a smooth implementation of the new features.

To account for the supply differences between Fractal Bitcoin and the Bitcoin network, the Satoshi Index has been adjusted. This ensures compatibility across both networks and provides a stable environment for developers to work within.

The adjustment of the Satoshi Index is particularly important for maintaining accurate transaction records, which is essential for applications using the Ordinals protocol. By addressing this, developers can be confident that their applications will operate seamlessly within the Fractal network, where the index precisely reflects the supply metrics and aligns with the monetary framework of Fractal Bitcoin.

In keeping with its commitment to transparency, Fractal Bitcoin has also open-sourced this version of the Ordinals protocol. This will allow developers to contribute to the code and build upon it to create further applications on the Fractal network. By making the code available, Fractal Bitcoin is encouraging a collaborative approach to foster innovation within its ecosystem.

Developers can now integrate the Ordinals protocol along with other updates to begin developing more efficient and scalable applications. The availability of these resources marks a significant advancement for the Fractal Bitcoin platform, empowering developers to craft cutting-edge solutions for the network.
